One of my least favorite Leupold scopes, though ahead of the 4.5-14 and 1.75-6x.
Really?!? Why the dislike Scott?
Because a 2-7x trumps if for a short action and a 3.5-10x for a long. Easier to get behind and lighter to boot.
The best thing about a 2.5-8x is that it allows a person to spend and extra $100.
